West Coast are in contention to have their largest All-Australian representation in club history after seven Eagles players were named on the 40-man shortlist for this year’s side.

Jack Darling, Andrew Gaff, Shannon Hurn, Jeremy McGovern, Brad Sheppard, Luke Shuey and Elliot Yeo were all confirmed in the extended ‘squad’ for the representative team, which will be revealed in Melbourne on Wednesday.

Dockers duo Nat Fyfe and Michael Walters are also in contention after their fine individual seasons.
